Lost You Forever (2023) s01e11 Episode Script

1
ADAPTED FROM TONG HUA'S ORIGINAL WORK,
LOST YOU FOREVER
There are various poisons in this world,
but everything in nature
has its complements and constraints.
The same goes for the poisoning technique.
Just remember the tips I told you
and be cautious.
By using your eyes, nose, hands, tongue,
your observation and sense of smell,
you can always find clues
and nip them in the bud.
All right.
These methods of detecting
and avoiding poison are confidential,
but you're willing to teach me
without any reservations.
I don't know how to express my gratitude.
Your safety is what matters.
We're all friends.
You can spare the courtesy.
I know many people,
but I don't have many friends.
Cheers. To friendship.
Cheers.
Why are you in Qingshui Town?
I have been wandering around
and just ended up here.
Qingshui Town
doesn't belong to any kingdom
and is far from strife.
People here
only care about a hand-to-mouth life
and not a prosperous one.
I like this kind of life,
so I stayed.
You're quite familiar
with Xiang Liu with Nine Lives, right?
Such questions
aren't suitable while drinking.
Then drink a few more before answering.
Xiang Liu
is someone I fear,
but I don't hate him.
He isn't my enemy,
but he also isn't my friend either.
Xiang Liu is too cunning and ambiguous.
Otherwise, I would really like to sit down
and have a drink with him.
What about you?
Are you and Nian
just cousins?
This question
is quite suitable for discussing
over drinks.
Tell me then.
This is my little sister,
Xiaoyao's treasure.
She gave it to me when we parted ways.
She said I could play with it temporarily.
However,
300 years have passed.
Xiaoyao is the daughter
of my aunt and my master.
She was lost when she was little.
They all said she died,
but I always hold onto a glimmer of hope
that she's still alive.
I have been waiting
for her to return for her fox tail.
Nian is also my master's daughter.
I pamper her,
just like I pamper Xiaoyao.
Cheers, Xuan.
Cheers.
Let's sit.
Xiaoliu, your pastries.
I left in such a hurry
that I forgot my money.
Never mind, Xiaoliu.
There's no need to pay.
Consider it my treat.
That is not appropriate.
You really don't need to pay me.
Take it.
Otherwise, I won't dare to come next time.
Thank you, Xiaoliu.
Go ahead.
Why do I always
run into you wherever I go?
Since you bought it, you eat it.
Xiaoliu. Shiqi.
Xuan.
Come on in.
All right.
Xuan.
Shall we play?
Sure.
You just taught me the other day.
I can't wait to play.
Let's play a round.
I meant him, not you.
Are you looking down on me?
I do look down on you a bit.
You make slow moves
and like to undo your moves.
Aren't I asking for trouble
to play chess with you?
You could indulge me
for a few rounds, right?
How about
playing a round with me?
I heard that you excel at music, chess,
calligraphy, and painting
but I never got to play with you.
Should I play with him?
It's up to you.
It's none of my business.
If you say yes, I'll play.
If you say no, I won't play.
I know you two are close,
but playing chess
Who is close to him?
It's none of your business.
Anyway, he listens to you.
Xiaoliu,
let Shiqi play a round with me.
I have heard of his reputation
for a long time,
but never had the chance
to learn from him.
All right, but I want to play too.
Fine.
You move and he gives advice.
Well, we'll see.
Let's play.
I heard the wine here is good.
Let's have a few drinks.
I have been to this place.
Why didn't you call me?
The wine is sold out today.
Come back tomorrow.
SOLD OU
Let's come another day.
Let's go.
Let's come tomorrow night.
I've been waiting for it.
It's your turn.
I think it's better to move here.
All right. Move there.
I will allow you to take it back.
I won't. I've made up my mind.
You let him move randomly.
Is that all right?
That is all right.
Think it over.
You're really interesting, Xuan.
When I want to undo my move,
you don't allow it.
When I don't want to,
you insist on me undoing it.
You've messed it up.
Fine.
Let's see how many moves you can make.
How about this?
You really can make
a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
No.
I want to move here. I like it here.
That would be great.
-All right.
-I suggest you
undo your move.
No. Absolutely no.
Where should I move?
Master Qingqiu,
you truly live up to your reputation.
You managed to save
Xiaoliu's helpless games
over and over again.
I lost.
Winner treats.
I heard that Mr. Stone
will tell a new story today.
-Let's go enjoy tea and listen to it.
-Great.
Wait.
I, the winner, haven't agreed yet.
Losers treat.
-Thank you.
-All right.
Let's go then.
Xuan,
why aren't you happy even though you won?
It's more frustrating than losing.
Your lousy chess skills
make me want to die.
It's really hard for Shiqi
to save you again and again.
If it wasn't for your meddling,
Shiqi could have taken it seriously
and I might not be able to win.
Did you lose because of my moves?
No. Your moves were good.
It was my fault.
Did you hear that?
Make way.
Move.
What happened?
Get out of the way.
Get out of the way.
Let's go.
Who is in the carriage?
It's probably some powerful noble
from a prestigious family.
Even the desperadoes in Qingshui Town
don't dare to mess with them.
Who is it?
Someone powerful?
Why is there a bow and arrow
embroidered on the carriage's curtain?
That's the family crest
of the Fangfeng family.
Their archery skills are handed down.
It's said that their ancestors
could shoot down stars.
However, they have strict family rules.
Not every disciple is allowed
to use the family crest on their equipment
and there is also
a strict rule about the size.
That bow and arrow may mean
that the person in the carriage
boasts superior archery skills.
The Fangfeng family?
Why does it sound so familiar?
Is the person in the carriage
the soon-to-be second lady
of the Tushan family?
The carriage has the bow
and arrow crest of the Fangfeng family
and the nine-tailed fox crest
of the Tushan family,
so it must be Ms. Fangfeng.
Since your fiancée is here,
we won't disturb your reunion.
Farewell.
Let's go.
This Ms. Fangfeng
can be regarded as
the most infatuated person in the world.
Ten years ago,
Madam Tushan planned to hold a wedding
for the second young master
and Ms. Fangfeng.
They had already distributed
the wedding invitations,
but on the eve of the wedding,
the second young master of Tushan
suddenly fell severely ill,
so the wedding had to be canceled.
The lovers failed to get married.
The patriarch of the Fangfeng family
didn't want his daughter to be a widow
and wanted to cancel the marriage.
Ms. Fangfeng actually ran
to Qingqiu Hill in her wedding dress
and knelt before Madam Tushan.
She said,
"I was born in the Tushan Mansion
and will be buried
in the Tushan family's tomb.
I'm willing to serve Madam Tushan
in place of the second young master."
Madam Tushan was moved
and kept Ms. Fangfeng
in her home.
She let Ms. Fangfeng
assist in internal affairs.
Although because
the second young master was severely ill,
Madam Tushan couldn't make Ms. Fangfeng
her granddaughter-in-law.
So she treated her
like a beloved granddaughter.
Now, the second young master has recovered
and traveled to Qingshui Town.
Ms. Fangfeng also came along.
The marriage of the two
may be around the corner.
There will be another pair of lovers
in Dahuang.
No wonder Ms. Fangfeng
is so adept at archery.
She's determined
and tenacious when it comes to things
she aims for.
True.
Why did you take him in?
Didn't you investigate it?
I did.
I only found out
that he was severely injured
and picked up by you.
As for what kind of severe injuries,
I couldn't find out.
Why are you so concerned about him?
The Tushan family's business
covers the entirety of Dahuang.
He affects the future position
of the Tushan family
and determines whether
the family and I are friends or foes.
Then you should get close to him.
What are you chatting with me for?
He listens to you.
How can you compare
chess to family matters?
He listens to me
because he owes me a life.
So he listens when he wants to.
True.
You should leave Qingshui Town now.
Xiang Liu could appear at any time.
It's nothing
if you think Xiang Liu is formidable,
but you shouldn't regard me as too weak.
Right. You're powerful.
In a one-on-one fight,
I can't rival him.
To be precise, I'm far behind.
However,
what I rely on is here.
Isn't that just bullying with power
and winning by outnumbering?
I'll make it
only when I have the power to rely on
and loyal followers to trust.
Do you think
power doesn't need to be operated
and followers don't need to be cultivated?
It must have been hard for you.
I mean,
these years of enhancing power
and cultivating followers
must have been hard.
Not really.
You have never seen Ms. Fangfeng,
but Ms. Fangfeng's affection for you
are well-known throughout
the entirety of Dahuang.
As Ms. Fangfeng is beautiful
and has a good character,
you will surely like her
when you see her, Young Master.
Greetings, Mr. Tushan.
Ms. Fangfeng.
A decade ago,
you disappeared abruptly.
We didn't know if you were alive.
Madam Tushan has been looking for you
and I was distraught as well.
Thank you for your concern.
Fortunately, you came back safe and sound.
Knowing that, Madam Tushan's mood
has improved considerably.
Now, she eagerly awaits
your return to Qingqiu Hill
for a reunion.
Mr. Tushan,
what has happened all these years?
Why were you missing for ten years?
Madam Tushan said
that she wrote to you several times,
but you didn't answer directly.
I do not remember.
Ms. Fangfeng, you may not know this.
When our young master
recovered his memory,
he was at Rejuvenation Hall.
He really doesn't remember
what truly happened
during the previous years.
It's said that you were severely injured.
What kind of injury was it?
Maybe we can identify some clues from it.
I don't remember.
It's water under the bridge.
Let bygones be bygones.
That's right.
The past doesn't matter.
What matters
is to live well in the future.
Ms. Fangfeng, you're right.
Young Master, Ms. Fangfeng likes archery.
You can design weapons
for Ms. Fangfeng in the future.
Ms. Fangfeng likes sightseeing
and you're good at painting landscapes.
What's more, Ms. Fangfeng
is good at playing chess as well.
Jingye.
Ms. Fangfeng
has been traveling all the way here.
She must be tired.
You should take her back to rest.
Young Master, you're thoughtful.
Ms. Fangfeng,
please follow me
to your bedroom so you can rest.
I'll take my leave.
Mr. Tushan,
you can call me Yiying in the future.
We are family.
There's no need to be so distant.
Madam Tushan is old and frail now.
She likes to see us younger generation
being close and friendly.
Ms. Fangfeng, please follow me.
He has forgotten everything.
Did he really forget everything
or is he holding back
and waiting for other plans?
How clumsy.
Be careful.
Yes.
Miss, this is the best bow in Dahuang.
The young master made efforts
to find phoenix bones and tendons
and had the best craftsman
from the Jintian family
specially make it for you.
Even if you cut it with a sword,
it won't leave a scratch.
I agreed with what you said last time.
I'll cooperate with you then.
Rain keeps pouring
Grass grows tall
Snow covers all
Grass grows tall
Be it sere or in its prime
It surrounds the bones of loyal men
Chenrong's men never yield
MR. LIRONG
It has been a long time.
What brings you here today?
I want to ask you something.
What is it? Say it.
How much do you know about poisonous bugs?
Why are you suddenly asking about them?
Recently, I met a poisonous bug.
It's very strange.
It can make the receiver suffer
the same pain as the one who planted it.
Conversely,
if the receiver is injured,
it has no effect
on the one who planted it.
However, the one who planted it
can neither control the bug at will
nor recall it.
Is the one who planted the bug a girl?
Why are you asking this?
If it is a girl,
it's likely
a pair of Couple Poisonous Bugs
planted for her lover.
Couple Poisonous Bugs?
Rumor has it that
Couple Poisonous Bugs are hard to raise.
If the male and the female
enjoy equal power,
the one who plants them
won't be able to control the bugs.
Wen Xiaoliu,
who are you making that long face for?
Apart from yourself, who would pity you?
In this world, whoever leaves,
life can go on as usual.
When did you get here?
When you were thinking about someone.
I was thinking
when you would come
to get medicine from me.
It seems that I came at the right time.
You should go rest early.
I'll clean them up.
It's all right.
It'll be done soon.
Protect the lord.
Protect Nian.
Whatever happens,
don't let her leave the room.
-Yes.
-Yes.
You're not going to
throw me down from here, are you?
No.
That's good.
How about I use you as a cushion?
No!
My lord, watch out!
My lord!
Mission completed.
You will receive half the credit
and a great reward.
If you want to kill me,
do it quickly.
You only have one head.
You can only die once.
If you only die once,
that would be too easy for you.
Does it hurt?
Xuan will hurt.
You have nine brains,
but not a single heart.
You're still worried about the other.
It means you're fine.
The poisonous bugs are not bad,
but they can only make Xuan feel pain.
If you kill me and Xuan dies accordingly,
you would kill me
without hesitation, right?
Too bad.
I won't.
Is Xuan all right?
Don't worry.
I'm fine.
Your Highness, don't worry.
Fortunately, Jun Yi pushed him away.
As long as the bleeding is stopped,
there shouldn't be any major problems.
This is strange.
I applied hemostatic medicine.
Why can't it stop the bleeding?
Why
Why is he still bleeding?
Hasn't he already been treated?
Xuan.
My lord, bear with it for a bit.
Since you care about Xuan so much,
why don't you remove the bug?
Do you think I don't want to?
I can't.
I have been trying
to recall the bug from his body
but I keep failing.
You're a demon.
Demons and bugs are friends,
so you must have some understanding
of poisonous bugs, right?
If you don't want to die,
don't recall the bug by force.
The only method
is to lure the bug to someone else's body
to scourge the person.
The only one I want to scourge is you.
The only one you want to scourge is me?
I'll kill Xuan
before he leaves Qingshui Town,
so you don't have to worry
about how to solve it.
Can you restore Chenrong by killing him?
No.
Has Xuan ever been to the battlefield
and killed the soldiers of Chenrong?
No.
Do you have a personal grudge against him?
No either.
Then why do you want to kill him
since none of those is true?
Just because
he's the grandson of the King of Xiyan?
It's a matter of position.
Now that I know
the grandson of the King of Xiyan
is around me,
if I don't kill him,
it seems that
I'll have a terrible conscience.
Do you even have a conscience?
I do have a bit for Chenrong.
How ridiculous.
Yes, it is.
So much so that I feel pitiful myself.
If I didn't have this bit of conscience,
maybe I would go
and talk to the King of Xiyan
and help him destroy Haoling.
I wonder what kind of person Hong Jiang is
that he could make you,
a demon, grow a conscience.
He's a fool.
A pitiful fool.
Leading a group of fools
to do pitiful things.
I think the biggest fool is you.
You're the fool.
You're the most pathetic.
They aren't fools.
They do these things willingly.
They firmly believe
they can console their ancestors
and be accountable to their descendants.
When they die,
they are resolute and passionate,
full of righteous indignation.
Unlike you,
who despises it while doing it.
I have nine heads, you know.
That's why I'm complex and contradictory.
Didn't you always say
that you hate it
when others call you Nine-Headed Demon?
That's your taboo.
Whoever mentions it, you will kill them.
But you're still alive.
For now.
What I hate
is not them talking about me
being Nine-Headed Demon,
but their underlying contempt.
I allow you to mention it
because
Because you make fun of it
with your mouth,
but in your heart,
you never think
that Nine-Headed Demon is weird.
I used to be weirder than you.
Is that why you hid deep in the mountains
and dared not see anyone?
